The exam is taken by submitting a classified essay of 6000 - 9000 characters on an independently selected subtopic reflecting one of the general topics covered in the course. 

Teaching takes place in the classrooms of the FFA BUT in the hours determined by the schedule. Attendance is compulsory (3 unexcused absences allowed). Higher number of absences can be compensated by submitting an alternative assignment after agreement with the teachers.

  

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic frameworks, formats and concepts of the curatorial discipline, as well as its development (with an emphasis on the 20th and 21st centuries). 

Upon completion of the course, students will have an overview of the history, major figures and key concepts of curating. The students will understand the development and challenges of the curatorial profession in both domestic and global contexts. They will view curating in a critical and nuanced way as a practical discipline, but will have a solid orientation in its conceptualizations and theoretical reflections.
